Our April and May artist remains as our June featured artist. Hailing from the Midwest, Erica Willey is a role-playing game (RPG) fantasy/sci-fi illustrator, in both traditional and digital media. Erica is adept at capturing both the beauty and raw emotion of her anime and comic-inspired characters. Ms. Willey graduated from Kendall College of Art and Design, Grand Rapids, Michigan, with a degree in Illustration. Salvador Dali was an early muse; she is inspired by surrealism and creating what you can imagine, regardless of whether it ‘follows the rules‘.

Our curator has selected six of Erica’s recently-completed commissions from the soon-to-be-released novel Belvidere, which features our own Nonpareil; how is that for Dada-inspired art!
